And If We All Live Together

A Gallic take on The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel without the bright colors of India but with a similar appeal to geriatric celebrity, boasting the participation of Jane Fonda in her first French-speaking role for 40 years. There are plenty of other old pros from the Francophone cinema scene who provide the non-too-subtle reflections on aging with the necessary theatrical ballast. While perfectly effective as a piece of light entertainment, the whole thing is too fluffy and predictable to gain much traction on the imagination.
